I think I'm getting my Creative Groove Back!

For months we were working on the house and I had to give up my art for a time. I knew I would have to give up the Hand Illustrated line of Suede clothes, because there is simply no room in our little 520 square foot home.

Whether it was the creek that ran behind our first apartment in Sacramento or the tiny little space of our 520 square foot, 1962 single-wide, mobile home in Rancho Cordova, California, we were always able to discover and create a unique sanctuary to call home. Even though, in years past, we did what we could to make our surroundings uniquely wonderful, we never had the room to go really crazy until now.

Since moving to our new home in North Carolina in May, we have not only discovered a world of exotic creatures and plants outdoors, but we have also started taking full advantage of the additional space we now have available to add our own touch of whimsy to the new "Wood's Secret Garden".

Our first major project was the Patio which joins the in-law quarters (where mom lives) to the kitchen entrance into the main house. We have received so many questions about "…

As promised, the following are some "after" pictures. We have moved everything in and organized most of our things. We still have several all day projects, like replacing the diverter valve and the washers in the shower. Currently no functioning shower; but, I can always take a bath until we can get this done. Yuck!
